ANECDOTE

Personal Overfunctioning Example

  • Kathleen Smith realized she over-functioned for her dad after her mom died.
  • Stepping back revealed her dad was more capable than she thought.
INSIGHT

Overfunctioning Leadership

  • Overfunctioning leaders take on too much responsibility, creating pseudo-strength.
  • This often leads to burnout and less capable teams, as they function for others.
ADVICE

Changing Overfunctioning

  • Focus on changing your own overfunctioning behavior rather than trying to fix underfunctioners.
  • Overfunctioners have more self-awareness and flexibility to change the dynamic.
